Pros

Technical and organizational challenges abound. But that is a result of its downsides.

Cons

Immature and incompetent upper management. There are no technical visionaries, neither are there any business and management visionaries. Upper management in one division of the company is bungling through products. Only reason they make any money is because of equally immature competition. The other major division is rudderless, following the leader blindly. Not the healthiest of situations.

Pros

Great engineering company with great technology exposure and high visibility tasks readily given to relatively fresh hires. Base pay scales in-line or slightly better than industry Great location in Austin Friendly atmosphere

Cons

Long hours, bad work/life balance High pressure but relatively lower payback Bonuses almost non-existant

Pros

AMD does a good job of allowing for work/life balance. Many of the people who remain are talented and care about doing the right thing for the company.

Cons

Salaries have been cut 10% with no foreseeable return 100% of what employees had been making before. 401k matching has been suspended. Communication from upper management on down is poor in terms of strategic initiatives and coming changes. Morale is epically low. Product roadmap is still desktop heavy (and margin light) while the market continues to move towards smaller, portable and more energy efficient offerings. Zero chances for advancement, career planning or even mentoring. Often, management are too concerned with the day-to-day buzz that these tasks are absolutely the last of last afterthoughts.
